ARTICLE: Red Dead Redemption 2 Map Leaked

Will Be a Prequel

First posted on NeoGAF, but later taken down, the map is real and a “very recent” art direction model, an independent source confirmed to Techradar. The source also told Techradar that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be a prequel and the map will be set just to the east.

Looking at the map more closely in the
bottom left corner, you'll notice the Great Plains area and Blackwater
city, which were featured heavily in Red Dead Redemption.

Another interesting note is the city of New Bordeaux, seen in the bottom right.

What's also interesting is the prevalence of water and islands on the
map, suggesting swimming and boating as new ways of transportation. It
also looks like players will traverse a plethora of different terrains,
including plains, deserts, swamps, and snowy mountains.
